Profile:
Suresh Perera is considered to be the most naturally talented all rounder in Sri Lanka by coach Dav Whatmore, who has pushed for him to be given an extended opportunity to fulfill his raw potential. He bowls right-arm medium fast with a sideways on whippy action that allows him to swing the ball. He possesses a decent batting technique, but a brilliant eye for the ball, which allows him to score runs freely. He first rose to prominence when selected to play against England A during their tour of Sri Lanka (February 1998) before going on to make his Test debut in the famous 1998 Test at the Oval in England, where he took the wicket of Alec Stewart and smashed an entertaining 43*. This was followed by over a year out of the game with a stress fracture of the back. During the 2000/01 season he made a comeback for his club, the Sinhalese Sports Club, and was then fast tracked back into contention for the Coca-Cola Cup in Sri Lanka (July 2001) and the following three-Test series against India (August 2001). He starred in one match scoring an unbeaten 56 to guide Sri Lanka home against New Zealand, but proved expensive with the ball (his economy rate is a disappointing 5.35 after 18 ODIs). With Sri Lanka keen to play just six batsmen in the following Test series he was given a further opportunity, but was then reported by umpire Steve Bucknor for having a suspect action after the first Test in Galle. He played in the second Test in Kandy, but clearly lacked confidence and was dropped at SSC. He remains in the squad and uppermost in the minds of the management, who have their fingers crossed that the doubts over his action can be quickly cleared up. (20.9.01)
